Swan Lake Act II - Cygnets' Dance

[@maureenseel118]

So incredible...the timing...the precision. One of my favorite parts of this and any other ballet.

[@beachgirl5584]

I agree Maureen. My favorite part of any ballet. So wonderful to watch.

[@sofiadorrell99]

perfect timing!! this really is a deadly sequence to perform.

One of the crispest renditions I've ever seen. I always get a bit nervous when they come to the pas de chat part, because even with the best dancers it can turn out looking like an eight-legged horse galloping across stage. But these ladies made it graceful and precise from beginning to end. Well done, Sweden. Even better than the Royal Ballet with this.

[@lilyraimey4477]

I honestly admire these young ladies. Their movements are so precise, and yet they make it look so effortless.... Stunning.

[@jerute]

Beautiful!! A wonderful performance of a fun little dance. One of the best I have seen. Love it.

[@daffo595]

To anyone who's ever danced this, you know how deadly it is XP

[@boleyn123]

+Daph Duck Have never danced in my life, unless you count the Charleston at age 10. This is incredible, almost nerve-wracking. Now I know (I think) what sheer beauty and discipline really means. Thank you for this.

[@visionette225]

I know right the first bits ok on the legs ish but so easy to mix it up...then there's the head.... God ... not even a quater of the dance and I already felt a bit tierd

[@daffo595]

DarkRoseGoth :3 AND THE REPEAT

[@visionette225]

Daph Duck just agreeing

[@junkogreineder8983]

One of my favorite ballet dancing techniques ever!!!! What a PERFECT team work of dance and it is an art of movement!!!!!

[@Gracie101100]

i think this is the best variation i have seen out of many ballet companies, they are roughly all the same size and their movements are soo synchronized and sharp they are simply stunning! perfection!

[@gatis8938]

I need watch this for school

[@elizavee7771]

Theatres

[@picklequeen8993]

Lol you do not fully have respect for these dancers until youve done this dance which I have it is so difficult but soo much fun the heads are the hardest part XD I loved doing this dance

[@Addictedtodance100]

Can you please upload a video that breaks down the steps of this dance? I really want to learn it, but I haven't been able to find a video that breaks it down.

[@TheRacingWind]

I had to watch this three times: 1- For the over all performance 2- For the fantastic footwork 3- For the way their heads were SOOOO in sync!

[@MyRofaith]

Amazing... I don't think the precision could get any better.... OTOH, just beautiful...

[@devonsurber4040]

I was seventeen when Tchaikovsky released Swan Lake. It was fresh and new. I was pretty fresh and new then, myself. Now I'm old and slow, but I still get a charge from this ballet and especially the Cygnets' Dance. This stuff, unlike people, just never gets old.

[@111Jabberwocky]

This dance has for me, shown more sadness and despair than any other dance in this ballet. I don't know why but its like the only dance that displays the terror and depression swan face in this ballet, don't ask me why. Vote this if you feel the same

[@beachgirl5584]

This was wonderful. Their feet were beautiful and so synchronized.

[@raderpat]

BEAUTIFUL!! I adore this pas de quatre

[@BalletGirl312]

Some people just don't understand how much time, effort, practice, and pure talent ballet takes, especially somthing like this.

[@11Gabis]

Very nice

[@elizavee7771]

[@ricardopalma2009]

WONDERFUL....VERY BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN.....PERFECT....

[@IsabelLopez-hw6zo]

Amazing! Fantastic! Gorgeous! Lovely! Bravo! Bravo!

[@arpryse]

This is the best version I've seen on KZbin.

[@noff27]

Beautiful, in sync and lovely to watch!

[@blackeuh]

One of the better variations. It's the first time that I see almost all the gestures perfectly together.

[@mastergx1]

very good, one of the best performances

[@JoeGomez1]

Nothing but Magic in this Performance

[@Nasha743]

The most in sync vesrsion i've ever seen !! Beautiful, makeing it look so easy when its soooo not.

[@willmarkon5820]

Amazing best I have seen yet!!

[@bethshevlin3429]

[@imanaauaua]

[@teresacuesta]

[@RicardoSilvio]

There must be a GIF of this dance. Its AMAZING!

[@Danizzlent]

I can't stop watching this

[@Mary4102]

This is what I call COORDINATION :-D They did it great!!!

[@grahamnorton6452]

My daughter is extremely good at Ballet . She also does all the other stuff tap , contemporary oh and by the way she is going to the world championships great for xfacter and the masses. But the day I sea her do this will be the day I cry with joy. What technique timing and rhythm

[@somebodydead7098]

Big respect to the dancers! I haven’t danced the dance or am a ballet dancer , but I still understand how hard this dance is! Anyways mad respect

[@ArchieAlexandre]

Im cringing watching this bc THE PAIN

[@Emgee78]

I'm just watching the flounciness of their tutus.

[@flowerfawn]

they are FLOATING!!!

[@rociomarrroquin]

swedish, russian.... just exquisite!

[@rrrogster]

One of the best I have seen! Even better than the Kirov. A truly excellent performance.

[@msbrown1]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@xiaoxiaojingjing0309]

reminded me back in the days, when i use to have ballet lessons. My classmates and I were only like 7-8 years old. It was hard to keep the coordination together, the first time we tried it we all toppled over and fell on the ground. Afterwards we felt like we were doing the wave b/c some of the girls jumped too high, but it was the best part and fun part to learn though or swan lake.

[@Avalapis]

One of the hardest and most tiring dances I've ever done, but also my favourite :) These dancers were fantastic!

[@carlal.5072]

Amazing, right up there with any Russian company.

[@blueskygoldensun]

Truly impressive and so very beautiful! ♥

[@UntakenNick]

Everytime I watch this pas de quatre I can't help smiling through the entire dance..

[@Elizabeth-qx6ip]

sooooooo elegant!!!!!!!

[@EliP271]

my favorite variation EVER. It's always been my dream to do this part...I will someday :)

[@Friolanita]

one word, BEAUTIFUL! attempting this without hardwork would look like hopping frogs. I salute ballet dancers :)

[@cathrynrosalie1289]

this is such a classic! *-*

[@SunFlower3Happy]

Beautiful Dance.

[@ОльгаДушакова-ю3ш]

Прелесть! Браво!!!

[@mariaashot5648]

FABULOUS!

[@1dluvr101]

The teachers from my ballet studio did this dance once for a charity event, and their pointe shoes were so dead. And for the rehearsals, also! They went through about 5 pairs of Pointe Shoes each I believe. And there were 2 casts!

[@petrosinella]

Dang, that looks so freakin' hard!

[@Arminiushoff]

Talent, beauty, discipline and strong, our womens...

[@AntigoneIvy]

Definetly looks incredibly difficult (Synchronizing the head movements in particilar looks intimidating to me! Such detail to think about while doing the actual dance) but also appears really fun. Would love to try it someday!

[@MrJimmy527]

I love that music called "Dance of the Little Swans." Get moving. You're late for dance class. Maybe I can dance in Dance of the Skylanders for the fourth music called "Dance of the Little Swans" from Swan Lake. I like it. Jimmy Kielbasa out.

[@michaelinminn]

Thanks to 'myballetstellar' for this post. The very best, and most elegant performance, on KZbin!!🙂

[@QueenBRK]

Doing this in my ballet class right now.. literally the funniest thing ever, this is soooo difficult!!!

[@cookiezxoxo]

respect. that was amazing.

[@bedenerexhepaj293]

Wonderful!!!

[@nguyenhuuloc8041]

Perfect

[@suraibrahim6938]

[@kickelikoppeli]

[@matygrande3760]

Amazing!! God job

[@marieelpetraa]

holyyyyy fuck that was sooooo in sync wowoowowowwww amazing they make it look so effortless!

[@shawtybunny9594]

Omg BEAUTIFUL

[@ozinii]

Loved it!

[@ShannonMarie543]

my mum used to do this, and she daid that it was nakering, that you had the whole weight of everyone else on you and that you have no way to steady yourself because you dont have your arms, if you loose balance, its only your core keeping you up, and all of the strengh has to come from your bottom half. SO WELL DONE TO THESE GIRLS!!! also, its unusual seeing such tall girls doing it, normally its the little dancers doing this bit x)

[@TheLayla89]

spectacular!

[@mariitamariita19]

I want some day be like them♥

[@lacouerfairy]

Lovely!

[@cookiezxoxo]

starting at 1 minute. i love it. and 1:20 is AMAZING

[@alicebroadbent6234]

so beautiful! me and my younger sister are doing a duet to this is a competition! There is only two of us but it should work..... x

[@popstar432]

I always loved this part of the act!someday I wish to dance like that on en pointe!but I'm so close I'm in intermediate classes!just six more months!;D

[@LittleMonster613]

@PeanutButter350g That's the point! Professionals are supposed to make it look easy, effortlessly beautiful.

[@franceskaformanova9359]

I'm so exited in ballet class my teacher said that we are or might be doing swan lake part 1 and 2

[@edie19591]

They have to be the most "in synch" ballernina's I have ever seen! And having been a student of ballet since age 5 - that's a qualified opinion!

[@meimeis112]

We are 10, 12 & 13 and we have to do this, it is reallllllllllllllllllly hard!!!1!!!

[@rgur90x]

i just noticed ; after years, that they use this in disney's sleeping beauty. wow.

[@CCOKay]

@EliP271 I've done this a few times. It's challenging but so much fun when you get it! good luck my dear =)

[@anaMarPortillaC]

Put a blocker here, a builder there, bash through the wall, get to the exit and blow up the blocker to let the crowd through...

[@sophialin2431]

wow so good

[@TraceyLouise2260]

This is brilliant- the person on the left is a bit stiff but still amazing. well done

[@TheRedheadkitten]

I remember when i did this. i tore my 3rd metatarsal muscle right at the entrance and had to do the entire piece with my foot bleeding.

[@AllChintzAndFluff]

amazing how much they are in sync! i believe it is more difficult to do this than a solo part >.< but what do i know? i'm nowhere near a pro. anyway, i just noticed, from 0:48 until 0:55 is the girl on the left forgetting about the petit battement (if that's the right term)? or am i just seeing that?

[@819Lottyxx]

i would love 2 be able 2 dance like that!

[@marychen2303]

Great !

[@Katnea3]

I enjoy watching "The four little swans" being preformed via various dance companies around the world. In this case, it's being preformed via the Royal Swedish Ballet. That said, while I'm not a ballet expert by far, I do believe the ballerina on the very left side, 'may' have made a 'slight' error during her performance? She didn't swing her leg in a tight circle as the others had? (0.51 marker?) But nonetheless, the overall performance is absolutely beautiful to be hold. I thank both The royal Swedish Ballet, and the kind person who graciously took their time to post a video clip of ballet at its finest. ♥

[@Katnea3]

+Katnea B. Whoa! I just now realized that the Royal Swedish Ballet had incorporated a more difficult step within the 'four little swans' dance that most other professional ballet performers failed to include! Therefore, n/m about my 'slight' error comment. Indeed, I have even more respect and awe for The Royal Swedish Ballet dancers now. ♥

[@biancazhang6841]

+Katnea B. could you please specify where/what this step was? just last night I watched the Russian National Ballet Theatre perform Swan Lake and it was amazing! :)

[@Katnea3]

Just look at various KZbin videos of this dance. (Aka four little swans.) You will see that the Swedish ballet dancers put in an extra tight lil circle step within the dance. The dancers looks as if they almost tap their calf before extending their leg out. In the other videos I've seen, the ballet dancers do not try to tap their calf. It's hard to explain. = /

[@LittleMissSmartyTutu]

I've seen some other pretty impressive performances of this section, and this tops all of them!

[@Ravel1299]

WOW!

[@TeamJacob1903]

wow! i wish i could do this :)

[@MrAmandaandBrian]

Have been watching this to Radiohead's Lotus Flower... epic.

[@disaidra]

some of the head movements are just the teensiest bit off, but the feet are perfect

[@AmenRocks1]

Everything that looking easy it allways hard to do, and everything that looks like it's hard is allways quite easy. :D (sorry bad english), this girls does it so it look like a easy thing, so it's probably really hard work :D And difficult.

[@Elizabeth-qx6ip]

wow!!!!

[@josephinea1]

@downtown82 i totally agree with you ;)
